-I have
skin in the game with children at every level - elementary, middle and high school

-I am
passionate about education: It is the
guardian of freedom and the guarantor of progress.

-I have
an economic and social interest in the outcome: The success of Richland One in
growing students to be either college ready or career ready is critical to the
growth of Columbia and the midlands.

Finally, I work well with people who have different opinions because it only
highlights our wealth of thoughts and provides much richer, diverse and
creative solutions.
